to craft the entire set you'll need the blacksmithing skill at lvl 375 (350 for the first piece), is good for skill up without wasting gold for expansive mats to cap this hard profession like adamantite and primal ***.

with 37Cobalt Bar (now, 1 ore = 1 bar :O) you can get all the 8 pieces.

easy to craft, awesome stats for a green set and a nice badass look for all the tanks around, almost better than the lvl 70 dungeon set + epic heroic tank items.

In addition for DK's this set increses your Parry rating by 65 which equals to at 70 another 2.05% parry. With bladed armor it increases your attack power by 205. Its an excellent set for entry level tanks in lich king who didn't get better armor from TBC.

Click here for a comparison of all six WOTLK blacksmith 8-piece armor sets. Keep in mind that, for some reason, the set bonuses are not included in the stat totals listed at the bottom.

The Cobalt "set" (which isn't really a set) is a great starter tanking gear for when you enter Northrend.Here are the total mats needed. TL;DR? 37 bars needed to make the Cobalt set excluding shield.Rate + if you found this useful :D
